    Gov't: Prudential illegally denied life insurance claims
    Prudential Financial illegally denied more than 200 life insurance claims despite collecting premiums from plan participants, the Department of Labor said Wednesday, the latest case where a life insurer was found to be denying claims even though the customer had been paying into the plan for years. Many employers offer what is known as supplemental life insurance as an employee benefit, which allows an employee to pay for additional life insurance coverage out of their paycheck. The settlement between Prudential of Newark, New Jersey, and the U.S. government deals with what is known as “evidence of insurability," a common practice in underwriting supplemental life insurance contracts where the insured is required to fill out a form showing they are in good health before being covered by employer-sponsored supplemental life insurance.  ( 38 min )
